Helios Healthcare Advisors Recapitalizes 32-Property Behavioral Health Portfolio

CHICAGO, IL — Helios Healthcare Advisors is pleased to announce its role in recapitalizing a 32-property behavioral health portfolio (the “Portfolio”) for an affiliate of Chicago-based CapGrow Partners and Sculptor Capital Management (“Sponsor”).

Spread across seven states, the Portfolio was a subset of a large recent acquisition of behavioral health facilities primarily serving a population of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Helios was engaged to recapitalize the portfolio and arranged a 7-year, fixed-rate product with a 25-year amortization to refinance the existing debt and provide cash proceeds to the borrower for general corporate purposes. The credit facility was provided by a NASDAQ-listed mid cap lender that recently expanded their specialized industries group.

“Structuring this solution took a great deal of creativity. The behavioral health industry as a whole is often misunderstood and overlooked by the traditional healthcare asset-based lending sources, so finding the right capital partner was very important”, said Helios Managing Director Mario Santiago. “We believe that the behavioral health industry is currently at an intersection where it will meet federal and state agendas that should promote further growth and consolidation. We intend to spend a lot more time focusing on the asset class.”

With a presence in 39 states, CapGrow Partners one of the largest providers of housing for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities in the nation.
